55. the polls that count, elections, blow poll results into the trash
Fri May 10, 2024, 11:34 AM
May 2024

the primaries are proving that. Indiana had trump winning by something like 90%. He ended up with less than 80%.

Those were polls in a fairly conservative state. Of republican voters. registered voters.

and they still blew it by over 10%.

This has happened at every primary this year. Biden overperforms, trump underperforms.

You really don't need much more evidence the polls are wrong.
